Mohamed Kamarainba Mansaray who is standing trial for allegedly sexually penetrating a young girl in Kono and in a very sick condition has been reportedly transferred from the Pademba Road Male Correctional Centre to the 34 Military Hospital but that visitors are prevented from seeing him.
According to reports he was taken to ECOMED for diagnostic examination where he got an attack and has to be rushed at the 34 Military Hospital where he was admitted and undergoing treatment.
It could be recalled that the Alliance Democratic Party Chairman and Leader was arrested and detained on allegations of sexual penetration of a child in February 2020 and since then he has been standing trial as well as being incarcerated for over two years now.
Six months ago, on the 7th September, 2021, Kamarainba was granted a bail with a condition of Le.100 M and two sureties on Tuesday.
There is a school of thought which holds the view that Irrespective of the bail conditions allegedly met, he is still held in detention at the Pademba Road Correctional Centre. On the other hand, there are those arguing that the suspect has failed in fulfilling all the criteria of the bail conditions, maintaining that the accomplice whom he was charged with has fulfilled hers, and therefore she is no longer detained.
According to family sources, Kamarainba was last seen on a stretcher and all effort to see him was denied, adding that the family is presently caught in a web of a quagmire as they are confused as to what is the health status of their brother.
Although this medium has not confirmed the veracity of the information, however, it states that the Elder Sister of Mohamed Kamarainba Mansaray, Haja Mansaray, said the Hospital Management at 34 Military Hospital told them they can only see Kamarainba with ” orders from above”.
